I don't enjoy reading... As in I don't read ever. I saw this book and for whatever reason decided to buy it, it seemed cool. Cool was an understatement, this book was pretty epic. The few first chapters were kinda slow but by the 4th or 5th chapter it started to pick up quite a bit to the point where I struggled to put it down. After finishing it, I just had to read the 2nd book. I do enjoy reading now, as in I'm always looking for something interesting to read. This book changed that.
